Harnessing the Potential of the Internet of Things: Navigating Choices Between Fog and Cloud Infrastructure in Agriculture
摘要
In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has become a pivotal force in transforming various sectors, with agriculture being a prominent beneficiary. The integration of smart devices, sensors, and data-driven decision-making tools has led to the emergence of a more efficient and sustainable farming landscape. Central to this transformation is the decision of where and how to process and store the vast amounts of data generated by these devices. This paper delves into the practical implications of fog and cloud computing systems in the agricultural domain taking Delhi NCR and region as a sample area by considering factors like efficiency, scalability, and real-world challenges faced by farmers. The aim here is to provide a comprehensive guide to stakeholders in making an informed choice between fog and cloud infrastructure for their IoT-enabled agricultural endeavors.
